Icy Austin & Coen's First Road Trip

To anybody that is paying attention (i.e., our parents), I apologize for the recent lack of updates. I spent late week in Kearney, Nebraska, on business. Don't knock it until you've tried it. It felt like a bit of a time warp (a lot of old businesses, like this one), but the Midwestern people are great. Salt of the Earth.

Back home, Kayla had MLK weekend extended by two days thanks to an ice storm in Central Texas. Apparently it does snow in Austin. Who would've thought? Aren't we south of Phoenix and actually in Mexico? Here's Kayla with the proof:

I returned home from Nebraska on Friday (1/19/07), just in time for Coen's first road trip. After nine healthy days at home, it was time for the little man's first Pediatrician visit. He didn't love getting nude for the doctor, but he received a clean bill of health (pending blood tests) and thoroughly enjoyed his new ride:

Friday also brought Coen his first piece of official U.S. mail. The little guy already has a Social Security Number! Now if we can only get Kayla one...

On Saturday morning, Coen was up early and crying for us to get him ready for the University of Texas basketball game up in Philly against Villanova. Unfortunately, things didn't go well for the Longhorns and it left our guy a little disheartened:

Fortunately, Dad was around for a little much-needed comforting:

That's about it for this week so let's just give the grandparents what they really came for, a few more pictures of the little one:
